Hi, my name is Daniel, and I have been sell houses for Harcourts for clients across Hamilton for around three years now.
My aim in the real estate business is to build a reputation as an agent who is a great marketer, is enthusiastic and hard-working, professional, and tells the truth. I was brought up in a Christian family, and still stand by the values I was raised with to treat others as I would expect to be treated.
I work hard to get the sale for the best possible price with full exposure to the market, and I ensure that the difficult face-to-face conversations, the hundreds of phone calls, and the viewings and follows up get done.​
Many agents who have been in the business a long time are happy to tick along, just doing enough. However, this isn't good enough. This won't get you the best price.
I take marketing seriously - it is my thing. I go the extra step by marketing my listings across the many extra advertising medians such as social media to ensure the properties are exposed to the most potential buyers. You can't just put an advert on Trade Me and expect the best result.
I enjoy the challenge of negotiating a deal, and always get a sense of achievement for my clients when the SOLD sticker goes up.
I have a keen interest in the city of Hamilton and has lived most of my life here. I have recently set up LINKEDIN LOCAL HAMILTON, a networking event for local professionals from LinkedIn to meet up and chat in person.
Prior to real estate, I have a background in marketing, branding, sales, customer service and market research. I even had my own Ice Cream store for a small time.
I have a Master’s Degree in Marketing, with specific expertise in consumer behaviour and services marketing. This marketing background and understanding sets me apart from other agents who don't bother putting the same amount of effort into marketing your property as I would.
​​Qualifications:
• Master of Management Studies – Marketing
• Bachelor of Business Studies – Management & Marketing
• Certificate in Real Estate (Sales)
For somebody who who thinks outside the square in real estate, Call me on 0273491873 to catch up for a chat.
